Jura hills across the Sound of Islay from Port Askaig

Looking across the Sound of Islay from a ferry moored at Port Askaig to the hills and mountains in the south of Jura. The famous Paps of Jura on the left with Beinn a’Chaolais closest to us, Beinn an Oir to the left of it. I’m not sure of the hills in the centre and to the right, I think Glas Bheinn and Dubh Beinn will be among them. Also Feolin Ferry, the landing for the Jura ferry, at the shore on the right.

Seen from Kilchoman beach on a beautiful November morning, some nice waves breaking as they reach the beach, having travelled in from the Atlantic.

Out on the beach in Saligo Bay on a November 2025 afternoon. The rocks in the sand a forming what vaguely resembles a circle. While some clouds are moving in from the west the bright November sun is still glaring down on to the golden sand of the beach.
